The Story behind the Creative Lunch Club

Hi, my name is Klaus, and I'm the founder of the Creative Lunch Club.
‍
Before starting this community I've been working in the creative industries as a social media marketer for over ten years.
‍
One of the things about my job that I love most is that I meet many fascinating and creative people, get inspired by them, and can work with them on projects. Some of them have even become friends. And with some, I've been sharing the office for a while now.‍
It's not only a great part of my job, it's also crucial for one's success in the creative industries. The more people you know, the easier it is to find new jobs and land new projects.

Creative Lunch Club - People talking at lunch

A few years ago, the idea of meeting other creatives from my city over lunch and getting to know them better popped into my head. So I thought about an easy way to make this happen, et voilà the Creative Lunch Club was born. It has taken me some time to bring the idea to life, but here it is.

This platform should be an easy and pleasant way to meet new people working in similar fields like you. Maybe even some new projects, collaborations or friendships will arise.

With the Creative Lunch Club, I also want to give young creatives a chance to meet people with many years of experience in the creative industries and ask them questions about their work, but also share their own ideas to make it an enriching experience for both of you.
‍
If you sign up for the Creative Lunch Club, you will be matched with two other creatives once a month.

Then the three of you set up a place and a time to have lunch together - easy as that.

Creative Lunch Club - Having lunch together

At lunch, you can talk about your work and projects, but also what inspires you and how you love spending your time. There are no rules besides being friendly and respectful, and remember, this should be no sales pitch or job interview.

What you do after lunch is up to you. Exchange numbers, connect on Instagram, start a project together or never see each other again.

In any case, I would love it if you shared a picture of your lunch on Instagram and tag @creativelunchclub.

If you like the idea, I would also appreciate it if you share it with your creative friends so that we can connect even more creatives.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to send me an e-mail or slide in my Insta DMs. I would love to hear from you.

All the best, and I hope to see you soon for lunch.

Klaus
